Atheist Nexus

I've reported this problem twice and it didn't get fixed and I haven't heard any feedback on it. When using Firefox my left side menu headings on the My Settings page are on top of one another. There is also HTML code showing--the code for a space, which is  

This would appears to be a theme problem that perhaps only shows up in Firefox. Has anyone else had this problem?

Tell me where I can access the CSS and I'll fix it myself.

That's interesting, then it's probably universal. Why isn't anyone fixing it? Here's the problem piece of page code (I've modified it so it doesn't work within this message):

ul class="left page_tickers">
li class="this">Profile
The "class" there links to format controls in a separate CSS file and it probably determines the width of the menu box. Then you see the second < li > is overlong. That is wrappring around and covering up other menu items. It looks like the FAQ and Site Rules links were not done properly and are now screwing up the menu.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't fix anything. It looks to me like the problem is in the code of the theme itself, i.e. hard-coded.

Oh, I was wondering what caused that. It only shows up in my "edit settings" page. *Shakes fist at Firefox.*
Yeah, but according to Thisbe, it doesn't just happen in Firefox.

I've contacted admin through "Report an Issue" 3 times and received no reponse. I think someone is asleep at the wheel.
Please have patience. We have one admin. and four moderators on a site of 14,000+
Thanks for the reply! Perhaps a ticketing system would help, if Ning allows it, so that at least people get some acknowledgement that their problem has been registered.

I will now demonstrate my patience. However, I am aware the offending code, from the look of it, would only take a couple of minutes to fix (or less, if it were on any of the sites I manage).
I don't have access to the Inner Sanctum here, so I can't say how things work. However, your tribulations have been noted.
This issue has nothing to do with the number of users. It's a theme issue. Perhaps the problem is the number of admins.
I have the same problem and I'm using IE8. I've never really had issue with it other than being a little bothered by the minor untidiness. I'm not sure you can fix it yourself by accessing the CSS if everyone is having the same problem.
You're right, it's not a CSS issue, though if the CSS file/s were changed it would actually affect everyone. I'd original thought it was CSS formating but that was before looking at the code itself. Someone hasn't formated the links properly in the code, or in the back end admin, and instead put in this (I modified it slightly so it appears in full here):

Privacy & nbsp; | & nbsp; FAQ & nbsp; | & nbsp; Site Rules

Which is just one long link (that wraps to take up several lines) to the privacy settings page. It's a simple fix and I guess they'll get around to it eventually.
At last! I contacted the Ning support center and they are now aware of the problem.

Here's the reply I got:
Thanks for contacting the Ning Help Center about this issue. I looked into your issue and I see exactly what you're talking about. I'm going to pass this message on to one of our developers who should be able to determine the cause. We'll get back to you as soon as we've gotten to the bottom of this!

Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.

From the article Tommy cited. "However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable." Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p

Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
